Week 1 NFL Picks on our Lineup optimizer

So for this first week I wanted to give top picks for the week and also wanted to test out my optimizer. In the past my optimizer would look at projections and salary and give you the top lineups. However many people just know who they like but they don’t make projections.

One I came across was Matthew Berry from ESPN. He gives his love hate for the week, but doesn’t say how much each person would score. So I decided for this article to not give my picks for week 1 but to take Matthew Berry’s love list of people he likes for week 1 and run it through my lineup optimizer that doesn’t look at projected score. You rank the players from 1 to 5 and the spreadsheet will pick lineups from those. The players you listed as 5 will show up in more lineups than guys you rate as a 3 or 4.

It is in csv format so you can upload it to Draftkings and have 30 lineups all set to go!

Here are the lineups:

I mainly wanted to show how my lineup optimizer will take guys you select and spit out multiple lineups. It took maybe 5 minutes to generate these lineups. Feel free to use them if you like. Im going to try some!
